We open the word of God now to Matthew 3. In the first 12 verses you have John the Baptist ministering. John the Baptist came and then the scribes and Pharisees came and then Jesus came. Matthew 3:13. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John to be baptized by him. But John forbade him …

We open the Word of God to the Gospel of Matthew 28th. And I shall read Matthew 28:1-10 and Matthew 28:16-20. In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake. For …

For several Sunday evenings now we have been looking at the very familiar parable of the prodigal son, found in Luke 15:11. Our Lord is speaking, and he said, A certain man had two sons, and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he …

We open the Word of God to Luke 15. We're going to be doing this for several Sunday evenings, examining the parable of the prodigal son.

In the Old Testament, Pharaoh is certainly a difficult one, as is Balaam. But in the New Testament, there are few …

Well, it's good to be here. I'd rather talk to a bunch of preachers and preacher's wives and Christian workers than anybody else. The main reason being, you don't have to stop and explain everything. If you mention a publican, you know what a publican is. You don't think it's a Republican. And I'm …

Matthew 5:3, Blessed are the poor in Christ, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. When our Lord Jesus spoke the Beatitudes, which introduced the Sermon on the Mount, the multitudes around him and the disciples before him undoubtedly were shocked.

When you open your Bible, God opens his mouth. And after a worship like that, I think our ears have been prepared and our hearts have been prepared to hear what God has to say. And somebody says, no, but what happened there in those Bible days, that doesn't happen today. Oh, yes it does. You see, …

I'd like us to turn to Isaiah 53. I shall read the entire chapter as you follow along. Isaiah 53, the great Old Testament prophecy of the birth and life and death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow …
